all for a nazi infested globalist WEF Ukrainian coup

All this retarded Russian bullshit you're spreading and there aren't even any US troops in Ukraine. You really are a demented little toad.

IMHO, it will not surprise me if our communist rulers carefully make sure that 90% of these 8000 troops are those unvaccinated or already screened during the “stand-down” as potential domestic terrorists...

Get them over there where they could easily become canon fodder...

You don’t need to be asked. You know where the fight is, you want others to fight. You might be old, but they would find something for you to do. Go to Kiev and ask how you can be useful. Teach them about force multiplying. Take a lot of brochures and power points. If only they knew how easy it would be.

” When I was in the 11th ACR (Read: Armored Cavalry Regiment) back in the early 80’s we were called a “speed bump” for the Russian hoards in the famous Fulda Gap in West Germany.”

I was in 3AD backing you up in the Fulda Gap ‘75-’78.

Much of Ukraines Air Force defected to Russia in 2014, along with 90% of their Navy and 30% of their land forces, many of these being elite level troops. Ukraine hasn’t been able to recoup those losses. Most of these defector forces are in Crimea right now. Now there are still plenty of Russian loyalists and closet Communists in Ukraine waiting for the word, many Stull in the Ukranian military.

I’ll be the Russians fighting with 1990’s kit and the US fighting with multiplatform force multipliers.

So do you calculations see the personnel and equipment needed to take out the Russian SAMs, establish air supremacy, conduct tactical air strikes in support of the ground forces, the personnel for armor, infantry, artillery, intelligence, command and control, oh, and logistics, and of course the branch that exercises oversight over all planning and operations in the modern US Military, the JAG Corps, in those 8,000? Or are we going to rely on the Ukrainians for everything except the tip of the spear?
